Seventh
The result of the discussion was that Shi took the two heroes from the village and rushed to the town overnight, and before leaving, Qin You intercepted them.
"Brother Shi, when you go to the pawnshop to be a jade, you can't give in no matter what, and you can't be a jade seller if you lose 50 taels of silver."
Shi looked naΓ―ve and asked stunned: "What if he is inappropriate?" β
Qin You smiled mysteriously: "I'll teach you a few tricks." First, when you go in to be a jade pendant, you must not show that you are in a hurry, you must be calm. "The calmer the better, if you are too anxious, the other party will think that you are in a hurry to use the money, and you will definitely die to lower the price.
"Second, you will need 200 taels when you open your mouth." The higher the price, the more room for negotiation. Originally, it was only worth 20 taels, but you asked for 200 taels, and in the end you sold 100 taels, and the customer felt that he had earned it, and you also got the expected income. The same is true of modern marketing strategies.
"Third, the boss will definitely not give you 200 taels, and will use all kinds of excuses, such as finding fault or crying poor, etc., you can't believe it or be soft-hearted, you must grit your teeth. When the atmosphere is stiff and the boss is angry, you make a panicked appearance and agree to reduce the price, but it can only be reduced to 100 taels, understand? β
The stone touched his head, indicating that his IQ was not enough. Qin You sighed, "Think about it, after seeing the doctor, you still have to buy medicine." Where does the money come from? It is from this jade pendant that it came. The more money you have, the faster Xiao Cuihua's illness will heal, understand? β
It was still his sister's life and death that moved the stone the most, and he immediately nodded solemnly.
"Another point, if you have so much silver, then Dr. Hao may not be willing to come." Qin You's eyes glowed with a hazy light in the night, "If the soft ones don't work, let's get some hard ones." Presumably, the elder thought the same thing, so he asked the three of you to go together. β
"Xiaoyu, what do you mean?"
"If he doesn't come, tie him up."
"But ......"
"Nothing more. Although it is a bit lacking in morality, but human life is at stake, we apologize afterwards and compensate some more money. Your sister's illness can't be delayed any longer, at least determine what kind of illness it is! β
Only by determining what kind of disease it is, Qin You's space, or the green sac, can be useful.
The three of them didn't sleep all night, and finally arrived in Changxian Town before dawn. As it was still early, and the door of the town had not yet opened, they rested in the corner of the wall until the door was opened.
Qin You's advice was still in their ears, and the three of them decided to go to the nearby wonton stall for breakfast first, and then go to the largest pawnshop in the town after a short rest.
There were a few messengers in charge of patrolling at the stall, and they recognized the villagers of Muli Village after a glance at the three stones, so they lost interest and continued to talk.
ββ¦β¦ There are rumors in the capital, saying that the West Demon Kingdom is about to move, and several spies have been arrested......"
"West Demon Kingdom, haven't they already been defeated by us?"
"Stupid, that was a lot of generations ago. Since the death of the previous generation of young Peng, our country's fortune has been bad, in recent years, it has been either drought and flood or ground movement insect plague, and I heard that there are still demons in southern Xinjiang. Alas, the days can't be passed......"
Another white-faced young man suddenly lowered his voice and said: "My eldest uncle's nephew is on an errand in the palace, I heard that a few days ago, the national teacher rushed back to the palace from Taihua Mountain, and there are rumors in the capital......"
The young man lowered his voice and said, "I heard that a new young peng has appeared, which is why the national teacher is in such a hurry......
Another younger, round-faced young man asked, "What is a young peng?" β
"Stupid!" The white-faced young man scolded angrily, "Let you read more books!" Hina means young, and Peng is a bird. I guess this chick is a little god bird......"
The messenger who spoke first continued: "It is said that the birth of the Hina Peng is always accompanied by a vision, and I don't know where this Hina Peng is......"
"Huh? Speaking of visions, I heard from the hunters of Mizunashi Village that when they went into the mountains to hunt that day, they saw a huge bird in the sky and a red light in the sky...... "The round-faced young man was very interested.
"Stupid, what a huge bird, that's a cloud is good. A cloud is also worth all the fuss. β
"Brother Zhuang, what is a vision?"
"Vision is ......" The white-faced young man obviously couldn't figure out what a vision was, but he refused to admit it, so he had to talk nonsense, "Vision is a divine object that we have never seen before." β
The poor people around him looked at the white-faced young man with admiration, obviously admiring him. The young man scanned around proudly, and found that no one was paying attention at all, so he couldn't help but be a little excited, stopped talking, and beckoned his brother to leave the wonton stand.
The three of them obviously didn't want to listen, and they didn't care about any national affairs, the only thing they were worried about was whether they could take the jade pendant out for a while.
The owner of the pawnshop is surnamed Jin, known as the golden tongue, with a three-inch tongue that is not rotten, no matter how determined you are, you can always be willing to admit the loss in the end.
When he stood in front of the pawnshop, he was still a little timid, but when he thought of his sister lying on the bed with his dying breath, Shi gritted his teeth, raised his head and chest, and strode into the pawnshop.
There was only one guy in the pawnshop who was lazily fanning, his eyelids drooping uncontrollably, obviously half-asleep. Seeing that the three of them were not dressed properly, they looked poor and sour, and they didn't even want to take care of it.
"Boss, I'll be a thing!"
The man raised his eyes and stretched out his hand, and the stone hesitated, took out the handkerchief in his arms, and carefully opened it layer by layer, revealing the quaint jade pendant.
That guy also had a bit of eyesight, and immediately felt that this piece of jade was unusual, and the carving technique was clearly Bian's carving, which had long been lost. He couldn't make up his mind, so he immediately asked the little man on the side to greet the three of them, and he took the jade pendant into the wing room in the backyard.
The golden tongue is drowsy, and he never gets up if he doesn't sleep until noon every day. In modern parlance, it is the gas to get up, and the guys in the store usually dare not disturb him at this hour.
But today, the guy had to call the boss up in advance.
Respectfully handed over the jade pendant, and the golden tongue, which was still a little angry, looked tense when he saw the jade.
He had seen this pattern, and every generation of gold treasurers had seen this pattern.
"He gave as much as he wanted, and then sent someone to keep an eye on these people."
"Shopkeeper, they are ......"
"I'm not sure, hopefully I'm mistaken." Golden Tongue said as he put the freshly written secret letter into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg.
Until he got the money, the stone felt like he was in a dream.
There was no difficulty, no price reduction, and even an extra fifty taels, just begging them to use it here if they found the same jade pendant.
Fifty taels of silver is enough for the whole village to live a good life for a year.
After getting the money, the three of them came to the only pharmacy in the town non-stop, and as soon as Dr. Hao saw the stone, he showed a look of disgust.
"I said that your village is too far away, and I won't go to the clinic no matter how much money you pay."
The dog baby behind the stone couldn't help it for a long time, and shouted with a red face: "Why are you like this, can't we have money?" β
"Rich? What money can you poor devils haveβah! β
A bulging package fell on the table, and the sound of silver hitting each other was extraordinarily loud, and Dr. Hao was stunned.
There's a lot of money, why did these hillbillies suddenly become so rich?
Doctor Hao is accustomed to seeing the wind and rudder, his eyes rolled, and he put away the disdain on his face: "Muli Village is too far away, and the medical fee is less than twenty taels, so the old man can't go." β
Twenty taels?!
Twenty taels is enough to buy two pieces of medium cloth, and this old man is so black-hearted.
The dog baby and Er Niu behind the stone couldn't help it for a long time, and raised their fists to give Dr. Hao a punch, but they were stopped by the stone.
This Changxian town is located in a remote area, and there is always such a doctor, even if he is immoral and incompetent, no one dares to complain. After all, you can skip fish and buy clothes, but you have to see a doctor!
The stone also knows this principle, so he can only swallow his anger. asked Xiao Mi to take a copper scale and copper scissors, and twisted 20 taels to Dr. Hao.
Doctor Hao's eyes were straight, and as expected, the package was full of silver, not a single copper plate, and it was roughly estimated that it was more than two hundred taels.
He knows the situation in Muli Village, and he is lucky not to starve to death all year round, where can he get so much money?
Doctor Hao touched his beard, could it be the elder surnamed Pei? He had heard from the old man in the town that Elder Pei was originally a descendant of a certain scholarly family in Beijing, and he fled here because of the fall of his family and took root. For more than 100 years, whenever a famine came, there were always good things in the town that they had never seen before, and although they all ended up in pawnshops, he had seen a few of them.
Could it be that this old immortal still has any treasure at the bottom of the box?
Well, knock him a few more times when you take the medicine!
After receiving the money, Dr. Hao said that he would put away the medicine box and let the stones wait first.
At this time, the sky is already bright, and every household hangs up wooden signs and starts business. When the dog saw the cloth shop opposite, she swallowed her saliva and said to the stone:
"Brother Shi, we still have a lot of money left, let's buy some cloth! The clothes on the mothers and little sisters are mended and mended......"
"Yes, Brother Shi, let's buy two more pieces of candy. Brother is clamoring to eat fast candy......"
"What nonsense!" Shi was furious, "All this money was exchanged for Xiaoyou's jade pendant, and the rest will be returned to him." β
Erniu was stupid, and he was a little afraid of stones, so he immediately closed his mouth and didn't dare to say more. But the dog baby refused to give up, he stiffened his neck and said: "The little brother of the Qin family only has one set of clothes, and he has been wearing them for a long time, but he has not been able to change them." My mother can't make him a set if she wants to......"
"Yes, Brother Shi, last time Brother Qin told me that he wanted a big wooden barrel to take a bath, but you also know that if there is no iron seal, the wooden barrel will always leak, let's buy a big bucket for Little Brother Qin!"
Seeing that the stone was shaken, the dog baby immediately stepped up: "Buy some more chicken, duck and fish meat for the little brother of the Qin family to replenish his body, my mother said that his thin wind will ......fall when the wind blows."
In the end, the stone failed to resist the persuasion of the two of them, and when he remembered Qin You's thin and weak appearance, his heart softened. Anyway, I made fifty taels more silver than expected, and there was no problem in buying some necessities, after all, it was not easy to come to the town once.
There were twenty-eight households in the village β‘β‘, and each of them had a piece of low-grade cotton cloth and linen, and the cloth seller bought so much cloth in one breath that he only needed forty taels of silver; bought two catties of halva and spent the usual money; bought a few catties of good third-line meat and two fat old hens, and spent a tael of silver; a large vat, which cost two taels of silver; The rest of the bits and pieces, together with the hired carriage, cost a total of fifty taels of silver.
There were many good deeds nearby, and when they saw that the stone was so generous, they wanted to come up and rub some oil, but they were beaten up by three people.
When the four of them came to the entrance of the village in a carriage, they were a little uneasy.
The village chief, the elders, and the people of the Shi family had already craned their necks at the entrance of the village to look around, and when they saw them, their eyes were about to fall off.
"What's going on? Whose are those things? β
After listening to Stone's stammering explanation, the elder was furious.
"Bastard, is this money you can move? This is Qin Boy's! It's not easy for him to take out his jade pendant for money, and you guys are still spending money indiscriminately, kneel! β
The three of them immediately did not dare to come out, and immediately knelt down straight.
The dog's mother hadn't seen a red cloth for a long time, and her eyes lit up when she looked at the cloth in the carriage. She knew that her son was kind, and she wanted to buy some cloth for her sister and mother and make a new dress, but she didn't think about her pants that were about to be exposed.
While wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, the dog baby mother walked up to the elder and said, "It's all my fault for being a mother." A few days ago, I saw that the Qin family's little brother's clothes were torn, but there was nothing to change and wash, so I thought about sewing one myself, but my family was poor and didn't even have a rag head, how could I sew this clothes......"
This is true, the best sewing skills in Muli Village are the dog baby and his mother, and the elder also thought about asking her to make a few clothes for Qin You, but unfortunately there is no extra cloth, so he can only dispel this idea.
"Elder, you see that they didn't buy anything for themselves, they all wanted to buy something for the little brother of the Qin family, and they were also kind, so you can spare them this time!" It was still the village chief's wife who was very powerful, and when she saw the bag of tea in the car, she immediately took it down and handed it to the elder.
The elders of Muli Village have no other hobbies, the most is tea-loving, but natural disasters have been quite frequent in recent years, and the GDP of Muli Village has been decreasing year by year, not to mention drinking tea, and the rice is almost unaffordable.
Looking at the bag of tea, the elder sighed deeply, and could only say helplessly: "Forget it, let's go there in person and give Qin Xiaozi a gift!" β
